  1. A true original - nothing else sounds like George Russell's music, and that's what makes him so great. He leaves a great void. Great clip - who are the others? Bertrand.
  2. 8 of my 9 showed up yesterday. I had called them Friday about the status - Setting The Pace is on backorder because they had to order more. I bet all you bastards ordered it as well Glad to have KD's This Is The Moment! - that one's going to be impossible to find in the future. Bertrand.
  3. Not only are they not shipping anything to me, but they came to my house and took away some other Fantasy CDs that I already owned. Bertrand.
  4. I believe she sings on a Weather Report album - probably Sportin' Life. Bertrand.
  5. Last year, Concord put some titles back on their site that had dropped off (there was the Jenkins/Jordan/Timmons, Don Friedman's Day In The City, a Wallington and a Dickerson among others). I called to ask what was up, and they said they had located titles in a warehouse they had overlooked before (or something like that). Of course I ordered a few pronto. Perhaps this is the same deal - oldies got access to a stock that had been overlooked? So they could still find some of these titles. Since they have a phone number they actually answer 7 days a week, I will call later this w/e to find out why titles went from 1-3 days to special order. When I ordered, she did say I wouldn't be charged for titles they can't get. Does this mean they already knew some of the Fantasy titles would be hard to track down? Don't know. Bertrand.
  6. This afternoon, only 2 of my 9 titles were not a special order. Now, it's down to 1. 6 of the 9 are still on the Concord site. Who knows how this will turn out. Bertrand.
  7. Just ordered 9 titles. The sale is on until supplies run out. Let's hope some of these are not already out of stock - I'll be curious to see the feedback in the next week or so to see if anything did not ship. I know some of the ones I ordered are OOP. I have of course a list of more things for possible future purchases Bertrand.
  8. Any reason not to go for this? The sandbox thing is puzzling. Are they CDRs? Do they have no case or booklet? The only time I bought from oldies.com was when I got the Grassella Oliphant and Miroslav Vitous Collectibles when they were super cheap a year or two ago. Other than the fact that they left a track off the Vitous and one chorus missing from 'The Yodel' on the Oliphant, I have no complaints When does this sale end? Bertrand. P.S. The Stitt 3-CD Prestige box is only $4.98!
  9. Jackie McLean wrote a theme song for the show. The sheet music is in the Library of Congress Jazz copyright collection, but I have never heard the performance. Bertrand.
  10. There are tons of them at the Institute of jazz studies at Rutgers. They are in a room though, not on display. Bertrand.
  11. I got all 11 CDs today, including This Is Criss! Bertrand.
  12. So roughly what is the time between when orders are placed and when they are received? Twelve days or so? Like everyone else, I never got an e-mail confirmation. I miss the old Concord. Bertrand.
  13. Too bad the article doesn't mention which archive in D.C. is getting this. Bertrand.
  14. Why are some titles (such as the Hutcherson which I was going to order soon) listed as being on back order? Has this happened with Mosaic before? Bertrand.
  15. I particularly dig 'Yo Miles!' and Wallace Roney's recent work. His current rhythm section is brilliant; I just love the groove they get going. I hope they are recorded soon. Bertrand.
  16. I, however, continue to utterly fail to find him the least bit funny. I lump him in with Wanda Sykes. Bertrand.
  17. Made an order tonight - 11 CDs for $56 and change. Let's see what happens. Bertrand.
  18. Did Mark attempt to make an exhaustive list of Herbie's compositions? I started on this last summer, but then got busy with the move and my insane late hours at work and I have not yet wrapped it up. Bertrand.
  19. Which titles are out of stock? Haven't placed an order yet. Bertrand.
  20. Well, I blew it. Even though the link Ghost gave claimed the sale was good until 7/1, it seems to be over already. I was going to take advantage of it this week-end. Bummer. Bertrand.
  21. What is the minimum for the free shipping? Bertrand.
  22. Thanks to everyone for their wishes! Bertrand.
  23. Kenny Dorham never seems to be mentioned, but I find his compositions stunning and highly original. Bertrand.
  24. Do you have the references for the film you are referring to? Since it's part of the Mulligan estate, it is probably not even through recorded sound that you would view it. I can find out ore for you next time I go there. Bertrand.
